ALUMNI & SKYPE INTERVIEWS

We encourage all applicants to visit campus, but if you are unable to visit Lawrenceville, you may interview closer to home with a Lawrenceville Alumni Interviewer or schedule a Skype interview with one of our Admission Counselors. If interested in either of these options, please fill out the proper request form below.

Priority for Alumni and Skype interviews will be given to applicants from further away. Please only request either an Alumni or a Skype interview, not both. Skype and Alumni interviews must be scheduled by December 1, 2016.

Step 3: Testing

To guarantee a March 10 admission decision, you must take the SSAT between August 2016 and January 2017. Please let the Admission Office know if you've had to delay testing beyond January.

Candidates for grades 9 and 10 must take the SSAT (www.ssat.org). We only accept test scores directly from SSAT; we do not accept copies from your school or consultant. We also accept the ISEE in lieu of the SSAT.

11th grade candidates may submit the results of the SSAT, PSAT, SAT, or ACT.

12th grade and Post-Graduate candidates may submit results from PSAT, SAT, and ACT.

International Applicants: All international applicants must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written English. For applicants whose native language is not English, and whose language of instruction for the most recent four years of schooling has not been English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required. The Lawrenceville School does not offer a formal ESL program; however, academic support is available for international students on a limited basis.

Candidates for grades 9 and 10 must take the SSAT (www.ssat.org). The SSAT test is typically given several times throughout the application year per the schedule listed on the SSAT website. The test itself may be taken more than once and all of the scores will be accepted. However, please be advised that we will only accept official score reports from SSAT directly. We recommend candidates sign up for either the November or December test date, thereby leaving January as an additional option if needed. Be sure to list the Lawrenceville code (4564) when you register for the test. To prevent delays be sure to list us as a score recipient when you register for your test. We will also accept the ISEE in lieu of the SSAT.

Step 4: Apply

Lawrenceville accepts two forms of application. Both applications are accepted without bias, please note, Lawrenceville does not accept the Gateway application.

Standard Application On Line (SAO): Applicants applying to multiple schools may want to consider applying through the SAO. After we receive notice that you have begun the application process using the SAO, we will forward instructions to create your Lawrenceville Application portal, through which you can track the status of your application and receive your admission decision.

Please note: If you apply with the Lawrenceville Online Application through our Application Portal, it is imperative that you DO NOT submit an application to Lawrenceville through the Standard Application Online (SAO) from the The Enrollment Management Association. Submitting multiple applications will delay the processing of your application.

APPLICATION FEE

Additional/Non-Standard Application Materials

We encourage you to use our Athletic Inquiry Form or Art Inquiry Form to submit supplemental materials pertaining to those interests. In an effort to be sustainable, please submit any supplemental materials by emailing PDF files or HTML links to publicly available sites (such as YouTube) to supplementalmaterials@lawrenceville.org. Please include the applicant's full name and a brief description of the file (eg. John Smith-artwork.pdf). If we feel the submitted material adds value to your application, it will be added to your file. Examples of supplemental pieces are:

Personal Recommendations

Artwork

Videos (via link)

Please know that most applicants do not submit any supplemental materials. The application provides the Admission Committee with the information for the basis of the admission decision. We can only accept PDF attachments or links to publicly available sites. Materials submitted in any other format will not be reviewed as part of the application process.

The Lawrenceville School is proud to be taking part in The Enrollment Management Association's Character Skills Assessment (CSA) Pilot Program. Traits like teamwork, empathy, and integrity are a sign of values and character in action and part of what independent schools are looking for in your child. This test is in the developmental stages and is not used as part of your admission process. When completed you will not receive a score on the CSA and we will not see your results, but your participation will serve as a crucial part of the test's development. To learn more please visit: CSA Pilot Program.
